While there, take a tour at Rebec Vineyards, grab lunch at a local favorite The Briar Patch. Don't miss a day trip to Farmville VA to visit the Robert Russa Moton Museum or take a pottery class at Mainly Clay. A definite must do is the Farmville High Bridge and you can rent some bikes for the ride at High Bridge Bikes and take in a meal at restaurants like Fishin Pig, Uptown Cafe or some Japanese fare at Shogun Steakhouse.

Deserves More Than 5 Stars!
We spent the last weekend of the year with our adult children in Arlene's cabin. It exceeded our expectations! The house was beautiful and secluded which is exactly what we were looking for to end the year off relaxed and rejuvenated. The cabin was spotless and well stocked with items for a wonderful time away. The hot tub and the outdoor swing (bed) were a highlight for all of us. With our faces cool from the mountain breeze and our bodies covered in the meticulously clean warm water, it was heavenly. The view was breathtaking and serene. Many of us took naps on the swing or read a book while panning the horizon of God's perfect creation. The hosts were friendly, responded to any questions we had promptly, and provided everything we needed. I am thankful we had the opportunity to experience a little piece of heaven!

Great stay
What an amazing place to stay and unplug a little. This cabin is in a dreamy setting. We enjoyed everything about it. The hot tub and fishing were definitely highlights for us. The host is very thoughtful and easy to communicate with. When we arrived, there were some amazing local goods in the refrigerator for us to enjoy they truly thought of everything. We hope to be back

Amazing and Just Perfect
We chose this property to celebrate my daughter's college graduation. We are big outdoorsy people and thought vs separate hotel rooms and going out to dinner this would be the perfect way to celebrate and include our dog. Bedding was amazing and overabundant. Everything was clean. The owners left wine and eggs for us. They were easy to reach and responsive with any questions, including finding a local bakery for a cake! Campfire was great. They were flexible with intermittent family coming to visit who were staying closeby elsewhere but wanted to come and join in some of the festivities. As advertised and a perfect getaway for solo, couples or family young and older.
